The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 708: Xiao Xiong Xie Shi 37

Time has just passed from July 26, 1657 to July 27, in Kiev, Ukraine. Team leaders and bishops from all Cossack emirates gathered at their chief, Bohdan Khmelnitsky’s residence. Within, come to send their leader, all Cossack heroes, Moses who suffered from Polish slavery, savior, savior and liberator...the last journey of the famous ruler of all Rothschild.

Yes, this old man who led the Zaporozhye Cossack uprising and dragged the entire Ukrainian region and the Republic of Poland, the Crimean Khanate, and Tsarist Russia into the war is about to die.

In fact, as early as two years ago, Khmelnitsky's body was already very weak. The bizarre politics and constant wars are damaging his health, but Khmelnitsky has managed to sustain it, which lasted for two years. But just 2 months ago, Khmelnitsky fell on the desk after drinking too much, and never woke up again.

When his son, Yuri Khmelnytsky found out, Khmelnytsky had cold hands and feet, his face turned blue, and his lips were bloodless. Fortunately, he still had a breath.

Doctors from Kiev, France, Tsarist Russia, and even Jews gathered around Khmelnitsky. They tried their best and finally took Khmelnitsky back from death.

But since then, even though Khmelnitsky has awakened, he has never regained his former energy. He was lying on the hospital bed and was getting thinner, and the vitality in the originally strong body was dissolving every day.

The door to Khmelnitsky's bedroom was closed tightly. Two Zaporozhye Cossack cavalry guards on both sides of the gate like sculptures. They stared intently at the front, without even turning their eyes.

Colonel Ivan Shirko touched Bao Hong next to him, who turned his head.

"Hey. Baohong, my brother, what do you think the old Hemei and his son are doing in there now?" Ivan Hilko asked. His voice was extremely loud, as if afraid that others would not be able to hear it.

The people around heard it, and they looked at Ivan Shirko and Baohong. Everyone is extremely concerned about this issue, because there have been rumors that Khmelnitsky wants to break the tradition of Cossack elections and pass on the position of warchief to his son.

"How do I know that I am not his son? But if I were his son, I wouldn't have the face to sit in that position." Bao Hong said with a sneer toward the gate.

Of course he also heard this rumor. Although Bao Hong was not as interested in the position of the Warchief as Shirko, he would never allow the Cossack tradition to be trampled on.

No, not even Khmelnitsky.

What Ivan Hilko wants is Baohong's attitude. His mouse-like eyes rolled twice, and he echoed loudly: "Yes, the warchief is always elected. Our brothers in the alliance, one person, one vote."

"Yes, one person, one vote!"

Someone immediately echoed Ivan Shirko's words.

The atmosphere outside the door became fierce for a while, and everyone was clamoring respect for tradition.

While the atmosphere was warm and everyone was chanting slogans, Shirko touched Baohong with his elbow again.

"Bao Hong, my ally brother." He said: "I know what you want most. How about you help me ascend to the throne of the warchief and I will help you fulfill my wish? I swear in the name of God, The day I ascended to the throne was the day when the Zaporozhye Cossack army came to Zbara Day."

Hearing that Shirko actually used Helena as a bargaining chip to make a deal with himself. Bao Hong's face changed suddenly. He clattered the saber on his waist. He said viciously to Shirko: "Never trade Helena in front of me, Shirko. This is my bottom line."

Shirko felt a cold in his tailbone. He hurriedly said with a smile: "Of course, of course. Bao Hong, I was the one who made a mistake."

At this moment, somebody yelled in a low voice: "Ivan Wigowski is here."

Everyone looked towards the corridor.

Ivan Wigowski appeared in the corridor. He is still the way he used to be-a notebook in his hand, neat clothes and meticulous accessories.

When Ivan Wigowski walked towards the gate, Ivan Hilko, who had just gotten angry with Baohong, suddenly jumped out of the crowd. He kicked out a leg, his toes were high, and his hands spread like a flying eagle, blocking Ivan Wygowski's path.

"Hello, the noble lord among the Cossacks." Ivan Hilko took off his hat and drew a few circles on his chest with extreme exaggeration and playfulness. Then he lowered his head lower than his belt.

Such comedic action certainly caused a roar of laughter.

That is, Ivan Wygowski didn't smile, he stepped straight over Ivan Shirko's leg, and then walked to the gate.

"The warchief asked me to come." Ivan Wigowski said.

"The warchief has been waiting for a long time."

Two Zaporozhye Cossack cavalry respectfully opened the door and let Ivan Vygowski in. Subsequently, the gate closed behind Ivan Wigowski.

Ivan Hilko spit on the ground fiercely.

"Dogish guy."

Hilcoben also said, "Wait for your master to die, let's see how I clean up you", but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed abruptly.

Because Bogdan Khmelnitsky is still alive.

Ivan Hilko walked back to Baohong.

"Bao Hong, the warchief alone summoned Vigowski at this time, and there is another Yuri in it. It seems that the old Hemei wants to be alone." Ivan Shirko said to Bao Hong.

But Bao Hong did not respond to Ivan Shirko's words.

Shirko was boring again.

This is the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs. Tsarist Russian ambassador Tubrin and his adjutant Potemkin also rushed over.

As soon as Tublin came up, he walked to Ivan Shirko's side. He took off his bearskin hat and wiped his face severely, and then asked Shirko, "How is the Warchief?"

"He's still alive."

Hearing this, Tublin's face did not change in the slightest, and he did not know whether it was joy or disappointment.

"However," Ivan Hilko continued, "Vigowski went in just now. Yuri was also inside."

Tublin's face became ugly. He also thought about whether Bogdan Khmelnitsky's move meant to be unworthy.

Although it is said in Kiev that Vygowski also has the ambition to be the next Cossack chief, but if Bogdan Khmelnitsky has given him enough benefits to make him willing to assist Yuri, then the two of them The strength of the two is one, even in the election, Yuri's winning side will greatly exceed the Shirko he supports.

Realizing that the future situation might be detrimental to Shirko, Tubrin cheered him up: "Silko~www.readwn.com~ Please believe that no matter what happens, His Majesty the Tsar is your strong backing. "

As soon as Tublin’s voice fell, the Swedish ambassador Magnus de la Gardier and a stocky middle-aged man came together.

"How is my benefactor, big brother Khmelnitsky?"

As soon as he came to the door, the middle-aged man yelled. He even went straight to the door, trying to break in.

Upon seeing this, several Cossacks' company captains hugged him.

"Colonel Popovich, the warchief is still alive and alive. Calm down." A company captain comforted him.

But the middle-aged man desperately moved towards the door, his eyes filled with tears, like crazy. Several blockers were even dragged by him for a few steps.

But none of the people who saw this scene thought he was acting.

Bogdan Popovich, the ruler of Chernigov, is also Bogdan Khmelnitsky's most loyal supporter. There is even legend that even if Bogdan Khmelnitsky asked him to cut off his head, Bogdan Popovich would not hesitate to do so.

After all, the power of one person is limited. Popovich finally exhausted after three more steps. The three company captains hurriedly dragged Popovich to a chair next to him and sat down.

When the farce ended, Tubrin saw Magnus, who had come with Popovich, standing with his hand on the side. He left Hirko and walked to Magnus.

"Magnus, my friend. It seems that your king is really determined to win the position of Yuri."

Regarding Tubrlin's words, Magnus neither admitted nor denied. He said: "His Majesty Carl X respects and supports all the decisions of Chief Bogdan Khmelnitsky."

Tubrin snorted coldly.
